Many applications have very confusing menus or simply have so many actions that you can't find the one you are looking for, even though you know it's name.

Therefore I thought a quick find feature would be cool. You just begin to type the menu items name in the textbox. If there are several menus which contain a item with a name containing the searchstring, all are marked.

If the searchstring uniquely defines a item, then the menus are expanded and the item is selected. Then hitting enter executes the action.

I didn't program Qt/KDE before, so I can't quickly implement such a widget. And I do not have time to dig into the matter. So if anyone who has the necessary knowledge thinks this (or something similar) is a great idea: Please implement it! :)

License:Free for anyone, no reference has to be given to me but it would be cool.

+ and -

It's a cool idea, but I think I'd find the text input field a little disturbing, especially in small windows. Maybe it would be possible to put the text field in the "Help" menu? Out of the way, still easy to access.

Re: + and -

Great idea! Easy but effective.

But I think silence is right - a complete text field might be a bit too mutch.

What about a small button on the left or right end of each menu bar? You click on it (or hover over) and then a textfield appears. Would make the thing "invisible" if you don't need it but right there if you want it.

great idea

I agree that it would be much useful.
for me the text box is not a big problem to see, but if it is better to hide it somewhere, it could be as the one in thebat mail client...
just a question button next to minimize, maximize buttons and a dialog coming out after...
here is a screenshot from it..

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
